The FUTURE COMEDY UNIT presents
Listen! Like! Share! FUTURE COMEDY UNIT is the home of 10 episodes of audio comedy with a genre, fantastical sensibility, written by Simon Messingham, recorded and produced by Alistair Lock. From the classic TEEN PEOPLE, to the gothic heart of the New Forest in BLANDER THINGS, surreal deranged crime in THE EALING INHERITANCE, and the sheer, shameless rudeness of AUSTIN COUNTY, FuCU is all killa no filla. And at around 45 minutes an episode, we won’t take up too much of your oh-so valuable time. Each episode is an original full cast comedy, recorded by painstaking professionals PLUS introductions and chats with the creators and actors, who discuss the ideas, gags and making of the stories. If you dig our groovy episodes, why not go all 'modern' and check out our website www.futurecomedyunit.com It's packed with loads of fascinating pictures and gripping articles about the stories. For the kids, we also do 'socials', whatever they are, so 'like and subscribe' to Instagram and FB. Or don't, if that's not your thing and you love missing out. We ask nothing more than you spend some time wallowing in our world. If you like what you hear, please invite others. To the wallowing world. The world of FuCU. It's pronounced Phew-Q.

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
